Addicted to Track are excited to announce the signing of former Australian Supersport Champion Cameron Dunker, who will contest the full 2026–2027 ASBK summer season in the Next Gen Supersport category aboard the team’s Yamaha R6.
In a unique arrangement, Dunker will simultaneously continue his existing Superbike campaign with Blue Marlin Pools East Racing, competing across both categories with two independently operated teams.
The ambitious dual-class campaign marks an exciting return to the Supersport category for Dunker, who claimed the 2023 title on his 16th birthday following an impressive rookie season that included four race victories and three overall round wins.
As dual Supersport 300 and Yamaha R3 Cup champion in 2022, Supersport 600 champion in 2023, and now an Australian Superbike race winner in 2026 after a maiden victory at The Bend in May, Dunker has continued to establish himself as one of Australia’s leading competitors, finishing fourth in both the 2025 and 2026 Superbike championships.
The South Australian circuit will now provide the setting for another significant milestone in Dunker’s career, beginning his campaign with Addicted to Track when the Next Gen Supersport championship kicks off on November 13–15.
Competing in both categories will present a considerable challenge, with Jamie Stauffer being the last rider to have achieved the double championship victory in 2006 aboard Yamaha machinery.
For Addicted to Track, the signing brings an accomplished rider into its Supersport program as the team continues to strengthen its presence across multiple ASBK categories.

Marc Marquez led MotoGP World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Lenovo Ducati Desmosedici GP26 on spec Michelin tires, the seven-time World Champion turned a lap time of 1:57.000 to lead the 21-rider field.
Alex Marquez was the best of the rest with a 1:57.109 on his BK8 Gresini Racing Ducati Desmosedici GP26.
Ai Ogura was third at 1:57.167 on his SuperFile Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP26.
Pedro Acosta finished the session fourth with a 1:57.380 on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Fabio Di Giannantonio got fifth on his Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26 with a time of 1:57.442.
Marco Bezzecchi was 6th on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26 with a lap time of 1:57.475 and his injured teammate Jorge Martin got 21st with a time of 1:59.670.
Marc Marquez top in Sepang on Friday despite crash, Martin ends Practice early. Far from a smooth day of running for the defending World Champion but P1 nonetheless whereas arch-rival Martin called it a day early as he battles his broken wrist pain.
An early crash couldn’t throw Championship leader Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) off course as the #93 made up for his final corner error to lead the MotoGP charge on Friday afternoon. He was able to pip brother Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) whilst a late lap from Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP) put the Dutch GP winner in third. Completing just three laps, Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) ended Practice early and will have another go tomorrow in FP2.
FIRST ENCOUNTERS: Martin pulls in, Marc Marquez crashes
Before the session had even reached a third of the way to being done, the top two in the Championship were making headlines. Martin’s day was done after three laps and the decision was taken that the #89 will sit out the remainder of Practice, although he’ll hit the track tomorrow morning for FP2 to see how he is on Sprint Saturday. Should he take part for the rest of the weekend then the 2024 World Champion will find himself in Q1. Then, at Turn 15, Marc Marquez crashed, tucking the front and sliding through the gravel, although he was soon back on his feet.
BOUNCING BACK: the #93 asserts authority
Into the second half of the session and it was Di Giannantonio leading the way ahead of Alex Marquez and Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR). All of the fastest lap times were being set early on with riders opting for long runs in the first 40 minutes or so. After his fall, Marc Marquez was back out on track and provisionally P8 with just over a quarter of an hour remaining. However, not for long as the Championship leader blasted in a 1’57.000 to go top of the timesheets by nearly four tenths of a second.
CHANGES APLENTY: Ogura into the top 3, Zarco and Bagnaia fall
There were a whole load of changes in the top ten with just over ten minutes remaining with Acosta, Bezzecchi and Bastianini all moving into the top five whilst Ogura, Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) also found improvements. Three minutes on the clock and Ogura continued to improve with a move up to P3 whilst the yellow flags were out at Turns 7 and 8 for a late fall for Zarco. Then, Turn 1 caught out double World Champion Bagnaia who tucked the front; the crashes confirmed both riders’ presence in Q1 tomorrow.
FRIDAY’S TOP 10: Q2 spots bagged
Nobody could get on terms with Marc Marquez though as the reigning World Champion led a Marquez 1-2 ahead of Alex in second and looked good not only on one lap but with race pace too. Ogura’s late improvement brought the Japanese to third by the end of play, ahead of Acosta and Di Giannantonio. Bezzecchi had a steady start to bag a Q2 spot in sixth ahead of a strong showing from Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales, with three KTMs going directly into Q2 for the first time since Hungary last year. Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and a returning Mir who was welcomed back with P10.
MISSING THE CUT: Bagnaia headlines, Martin back on track in FP2
Zarco’s crash late on cost him as he missed out by 0.187s, just 0.002s ahead of Pecco in 12th. Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) had a big front-end save at Turn 15 which cost him any improvement and thus finds himself in Q1, whilst the best Yamaha was Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) just behind him in P14. Martin sitting out the rest of the session after three laps leaves him in Q1 and he hopes that he can be competitive on Saturday.
Sprint Saturday commences from 09:00 local time (UTC +8); don’t miss a lap!
Manuel Gonzalez led Moto2 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard lapped the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) road course in 2:03.737, topping the field of 28 riders.
Alonso Lopez was second-best with a time of 2:03.881 on his ITALJET Gresini Kalex.
Daniel Holgado did a third-fastest 2:03.943 on his CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team Kalex.
Izan Guevara crossed the finish line fourth on his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha boscoscuro with a lap time of 2:03.971 and Tony Arbolino got fifth on his REDS Fantic Racing Kalex with a time of 2:04.448.
American Joe Roberts finished Friday afternoon’s practice session 12th with a best time of 2:04.685 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
Gonzalez collects Friday P1 as big hitters miss Q2 cut in Sepang. A crash in FP1 was backed up by an impressive Practice top spot display from the Moto2 title race leader in Malaysia, with title rival Guevara fourth fastest.
After a fast crash in Free Practice 1, World Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) bounced back in style in the all-important Moto2 Practice session to top the timesheets on Friday at the PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia. Gonzalez’s 2:03.737 was good enough to see off the Alonso Lopez (ITALJET Gresini Moto2) threat by 0.144s, with Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team) completing the top three.
Holgado was another rider to crash this morning, but like Gonzalez, didn’t show any ill effects from the tip-off in the afternoon stint. Fourth place went to Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), who was the only other rider to get below 0.7s away from his title rival’s table-topping time. The exact gap between the title-chasing duo? 0.234s.
2022 Moto2 Malaysian GP winner Tony Arbolino (REDS Fantic Racing) rounded out the top five ahead of the rider third in the overall standings, Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – MSI). And it was double delight in the MSI box because Ortola’s teammate Angel Piqueras finished P7 to front the rookie charge in Moto2 Practice.
Some of the big headlines came further down the order, though. Two of our 2025 Moto2 Malaysian GP podium finishers, David Alonso (CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team) and Barry Baltus (REDS Fantic Racing), ended the session in P18 and P19 to face Q1, and they’ll be joined in Q1 by British GP winner Filip Salač (OnlyFans American Racing Team) after the Czech star missed out on the top 14 because his second fastest lap was slower than Adrian Huertas’ (Italtrans Racing Team) – the duo both setting 2:04.735.
David Almansa led Moto3 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Almansa used his Pirelli-shod Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP KTM to lap the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) track in 2:11.427 to lead the field of 25 riders.
Rico Salmela was second-best with a time of 2:11.496 on his Red Bull KTM Tech 3 machine.
Veda Pratama, piloting his Honda Team Asia machine, claimed the third and final spot on the front with a lap time of 2:11.519.
Home hero Hakim Danish was fourth on his AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI KTM with a lap time of 2:11.573 and Adrian Fernandez finished the practice session fifth on his Leopard Racing Honda with a time of 2:11.589.
Almansa soars to Sepang P1 on Friday, home star Danish fourth. It was business as usual on Friday for the rider currently P2 in the standings whilst the home crowd will be cheering on Danish’s strong start.
After a tricky start to the day, David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) paved his way to P1 to draw first blood in Moto3 in Malaysia. Aiming to consolidate P2 overall in the standings, the #22 set the fastest time of the day to head the field whilst the homecoming tour is well underway for Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) with the Malaysian fourth at the chequered flag.
A 2’11.427 saw the Spaniard clear by less than a tenth of a second from rookie star Rico Salmela (Red Bull KTM Tech3), taking to Sepang for the first time. 0.069s split the top two whilst less than a tenth covered the top three with Phillip Island polesitter Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia) continuing his form in third and taking top Honda honours. Danish was a star in fourth ahead of Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) whilst, like Almansa, Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) turned around a tricky FP1 to round out the top six in Practice.
Heavyweight names are scattered further back with the likes of Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in P7, teammate Brian Uriarte in P9 and David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) in P10. 2026 World Champion Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was only 11th whereas big names missed the cut all together. US GP winner Guido Pini (Leopard Racing) will face the Q1 music in 15th, along with Argentinean pairing Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).
The #25 won’t be taking part in the rest of the Malaysian GP as he continues to suffer with his fingers, broken in Lombok.
Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP team) put in a superhuman ride at the Indonesian GP to take a podium despite having fractured fingers, but the #25 was then forced to withdraw from the Australian GP as his recovery continues.
Arriving in Sepang for the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, Fernandez got the ok to take part in FP1 and headed out in the session. However, in a review thereafter he was declared officially unfit and is now sidelined from the event, instead focusing on making a full recovery.
Marc Marquez topped MotoGP World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Michelin-shod Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26, the Spaniard turned a lap of 1:58.912 around the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) track and led the 22-rider field.
Marco Bezzecchi was second-best with a 1:59.386 on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26.
Pedro Acosta was third with a lap of 1:59.386 on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Enea Bastianini finished the first session fourth on his Red Bull KTM Tech3 RC16 with a time of 1:59.688.
Acosta’s teammate, Brad Binder got fifth with a time of 1:59.737.
Marc Marquez leads Bezzecchi and Acosta in FP1, injured Martin completes 12 laps. The championship leader heads into Practice 0.4s clear of the Aprilia and KTM stars, while the #89 finishes 1.8s off the pace in a promising start to the Malaysian GP.
Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) enjoyed a perfect start to his PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia after the World Championship leader set the only 1:58 lap of the session to lead Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) by 0.474s. The duo set the exact same time to finish FP1 just under half a second away from the #93’s 1:58.912, but that wasn’t the biggest story of the opening session in Sepang.
The main focus? Jorge Martin’s (Aprilia Racing) progress. Team Manager Paolo Bonora explained the 2024 World Champion, “expected to feel worse”, with the plan being not to push too much and save energy for Practice later this afternoon. It’s early doors, of course, but that’s great news going into this afternoon for the rider just 10 points off Marc Marquez in the title chase. At the end of play in FP1, Martin completed 12 laps and sits 1.8s off the summit heading into this afternoon’s one-hour Practice stint, six days after suffering a non-displaced fracture of the distal radius. Incredible.
Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) handed KTM a great start to their weekend in Malaysia by sticking their RC16s inside the top five in P4 and P5, while it was Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and last year’s Malaysian GP winner, Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), who were the only other riders to get within a second of Marc Marquez’s FP1 pace.
Elsewhere, Raul Fernandez’s (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) weekend is over after the Spaniard was declared unfit after a review during FP1. Fernandez will now head back to Spain for some thorough treatment in order to try to be fit for the upcoming Qatar GP.
Izan Guevara was quickest during Moto2 World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Pirelli-shod BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha boscoscuro on the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) track, the Spaniard recorded a 2:04.005 to lead the field of 28 riders.
David Alonso was the best of the rest with a 2:04.568 on his CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team Kalex and his teammate Daniel Holgado got third with exactly the same lap time of 2:04.568.
American Joe Roberts finished the opening session in fourth with a 2:04.758 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Collin Veijer got fifth with a time of 2:04.800.
Alvaro Carpe was quickest during Moto3 World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Red Bull KTM Ajo machine on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard covered the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) road course in 2:11.585, topping the field of 25 riders.
Maximo Quiles was the best of the rest with a 2:11.714 on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM and his teammate Marco Morelli was third with a lap time of 2:11.720.
Veda Pratama got fourth with a lap time of 2:11.819 on his Honda Team Asia machine and home hero Hakim Danish was fifth with a time of 2:11.834 on his AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI KTM.
The biennial FIM Intercontinental Games (ICG) returns this season for its second edition, with the 2026 Goiás FIM Intercontinental Games scheduled for 11–13 December at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiânia, Brazil.
The prestigious event will bring together teams from the six FIM Continental Unions (CONUs) – Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania – to compete across circuit racing and motocross. Each CONU will field twelve riders, split evenly between Supersport (SSP), Supersport 300 (SSP300) and MX2. The two circuit racing classes featured at the inaugural ICG at Jerez, Spain, in 2024, while MX2 joins the programme for 2026, extending the competition to off-road racing.
Each CONU may select one ‘specialist’ rider with a permanent place in an FIM World Championshipin 2026. Teams must also include at least one female rider per category, who may likewise be a permanent FIM World Championship rider this season. All other selected riders must be considered ‘rising talents’ and must not have competed in an FIM World Championship as permanent riders during 2026.
Yamaha will provide machinery for both circuit racing classes, with a fleet of YZF-R7 and YZF-R3 models available. Motocross competitors will race on locally supplied motorcycles, according to each rider’s requested brand and model and in compliance with FIM regulations.
In the run-up to the event, we will take a closer look at each CONU’s selection. This week, FIM North America takes the spotlight.
FIM North America’s efforts in Brazil will be overseen by Circuit Racing Team Manager Michael Martin who returns to his 2024 role alongside Steve Westfall who is the Motocross Team Manager.

Canadian Dylan Rempel is Captain of the MX2 squad and the nineteen-year-old from Ontario will be aiming to lead by example having already forged a hard-earned reputation for his determination and commitment. With experience of running near the front in both the AMA Pro Motocross Championship SMX Next and Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship 250SX Futuresclasses, this season Rempel was crowned 250cc Pro Class champion in the national Canadian Triple Crown series.
Aged just seventeen and hailing from Colorado, Mayla Herrick had to wait until round three of the 2026 AMA Women’s Motocross Championship until she was old enough to compete and she immediately claimed a moto win before crashing out of the second race. Despite this she still finished the season ranked eighth with overall podiums at Unadilla and Ironman Raceway and she was the youngest member of the Team USA squad that won the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in early 2026.
The third member of the MX2 team, twenty-four-year-old Preston Kilroy won the 250 Pro class of the national 2025 Triple Crown Series before graduating to the 450 Pro division this season where he finished fourth and claimed the overall win at the final round. The rider from Wyoming made his professional Motocross debut in 2020 and his professional Supercross debut two years later and has competed in both the 250 and 450 classes of the AMA Pro Motocross Nationals as well as the 2023 SuperMotocross World Championship.
Hailing from Manitoba in Canada, twenty-one-year-old Ryder McNabb is a two-time 250 Pro Canadian Motocross Champion who was tenth in this season’s 450 Pro class in the Triple Crown Series after finishing seventh in the 250 Pro class in 2025. Making his professional debut in the 250cc class in 2024, he has achieved three top-twenty finishes in the 250cc class of the AMA Pro Motocross Nationals and also has a top-twenty finish in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship 250SX Futures class on his racing résumé.
Rob Dingman, President of FIM North America, said: “The FIM Intercontinental Games brings the spirit of competition on two wheels under the international spotlight, and we are eager to showcase the collective talent of the riders from our continent. As we celebrate the second running of this event later this year, we anticipate a strong showing from our twelve riders in Brazil.”
Mike Pelletier, FIM North America Delegate, stated: “We have built a competitive team with a collection of skilled Circuit and Motocross riders that we feel very confident in for this year’s FIM Intercontinental Games. Team managers Michael Martin and Steve Westfall bring plenty of experience to their respective roles. I look forward to watching our team compete at this prestigious event, with a chance to bring international glory to North America.”
Michael Martin, FIM North America’s Circuit Racing Manager, commented: “I’m very honoured [to be Manager]. It’s a pleasure for me to do it and I certainly enjoy it. It’s been very rewarding so far and, hopefully, we’re going to go down there now that we have our feet underneath us and get a good result.”
Steve Westfall, FIM North America’s Motocross Manager, added: “To be asked to be a Team Manager for such a cool event is an honour. The fact that they considered me means a lot! The team is going to be great. Mike [Pelletier] and I went with what we thought would be the best team to win the FIM Intercontinental Games. Good luck to all the other CONUs competing in this event.”

Addicted to Track are excited to announce the signing of former Australian Supersport Champion Cameron Dunker, who will contest the full 2026–2027 ASBK summer season in the Next Gen Supersport category aboard the team’s Yamaha R6.
In a unique arrangement, Dunker will simultaneously continue his existing Superbike campaign with Blue Marlin Pools East Racing, competing across both categories with two independently operated teams.
The ambitious dual-class campaign marks an exciting return to the Supersport category for Dunker, who claimed the 2023 title on his 16th birthday following an impressive rookie season that included four race victories and three overall round wins.
As dual Supersport 300 and Yamaha R3 Cup champion in 2022, Supersport 600 champion in 2023, and now an Australian Superbike race winner in 2026 after a maiden victory at The Bend in May, Dunker has continued to establish himself as one of Australia’s leading competitors, finishing fourth in both the 2025 and 2026 Superbike championships.
The South Australian circuit will now provide the setting for another significant milestone in Dunker’s career, beginning his campaign with Addicted to Track when the Next Gen Supersport championship kicks off on November 13–15.
Competing in both categories will present a considerable challenge, with Jamie Stauffer being the last rider to have achieved the double championship victory in 2006 aboard Yamaha machinery.
For Addicted to Track, the signing brings an accomplished rider into its Supersport program as the team continues to strengthen its presence across multiple ASBK categories.

Marc Marquez led MotoGP World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Lenovo Ducati Desmosedici GP26 on spec Michelin tires, the seven-time World Champion turned a lap time of 1:57.000 to lead the 21-rider field.
Alex Marquez was the best of the rest with a 1:57.109 on his BK8 Gresini Racing Ducati Desmosedici GP26.
Ai Ogura was third at 1:57.167 on his SuperFile Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP26.
Pedro Acosta finished the session fourth with a 1:57.380 on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Fabio Di Giannantonio got fifth on his Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26 with a time of 1:57.442.
Marco Bezzecchi was 6th on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26 with a lap time of 1:57.475 and his injured teammate Jorge Martin got 21st with a time of 1:59.670.
Marc Marquez top in Sepang on Friday despite crash, Martin ends Practice early. Far from a smooth day of running for the defending World Champion but P1 nonetheless whereas arch-rival Martin called it a day early as he battles his broken wrist pain.
An early crash couldn’t throw Championship leader Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) off course as the #93 made up for his final corner error to lead the MotoGP charge on Friday afternoon. He was able to pip brother Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) whilst a late lap from Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP) put the Dutch GP winner in third. Completing just three laps, Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) ended Practice early and will have another go tomorrow in FP2.
FIRST ENCOUNTERS: Martin pulls in, Marc Marquez crashes
Before the session had even reached a third of the way to being done, the top two in the Championship were making headlines. Martin’s day was done after three laps and the decision was taken that the #89 will sit out the remainder of Practice, although he’ll hit the track tomorrow morning for FP2 to see how he is on Sprint Saturday. Should he take part for the rest of the weekend then the 2024 World Champion will find himself in Q1. Then, at Turn 15, Marc Marquez crashed, tucking the front and sliding through the gravel, although he was soon back on his feet.
BOUNCING BACK: the #93 asserts authority
Into the second half of the session and it was Di Giannantonio leading the way ahead of Alex Marquez and Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR). All of the fastest lap times were being set early on with riders opting for long runs in the first 40 minutes or so. After his fall, Marc Marquez was back out on track and provisionally P8 with just over a quarter of an hour remaining. However, not for long as the Championship leader blasted in a 1’57.000 to go top of the timesheets by nearly four tenths of a second.
CHANGES APLENTY: Ogura into the top 3, Zarco and Bagnaia fall
There were a whole load of changes in the top ten with just over ten minutes remaining with Acosta, Bezzecchi and Bastianini all moving into the top five whilst Ogura, Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) also found improvements. Three minutes on the clock and Ogura continued to improve with a move up to P3 whilst the yellow flags were out at Turns 7 and 8 for a late fall for Zarco. Then, Turn 1 caught out double World Champion Bagnaia who tucked the front; the crashes confirmed both riders’ presence in Q1 tomorrow.
FRIDAY’S TOP 10: Q2 spots bagged
Nobody could get on terms with Marc Marquez though as the reigning World Champion led a Marquez 1-2 ahead of Alex in second and looked good not only on one lap but with race pace too. Ogura’s late improvement brought the Japanese to third by the end of play, ahead of Acosta and Di Giannantonio. Bezzecchi had a steady start to bag a Q2 spot in sixth ahead of a strong showing from Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo Enea Bastianini and Maverick Viñales, with three KTMs going directly into Q2 for the first time since Hungary last year. Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and a returning Mir who was welcomed back with P10.
MISSING THE CUT: Bagnaia headlines, Martin back on track in FP2
Zarco’s crash late on cost him as he missed out by 0.187s, just 0.002s ahead of Pecco in 12th. Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) had a big front-end save at Turn 15 which cost him any improvement and thus finds himself in Q1, whilst the best Yamaha was Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) just behind him in P14. Martin sitting out the rest of the session after three laps leaves him in Q1 and he hopes that he can be competitive on Saturday.
Sprint Saturday commences from 09:00 local time (UTC +8); don’t miss a lap!

Manuel Gonzalez led Moto2 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard lapped the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) road course in 2:03.737, topping the field of 28 riders.
Alonso Lopez was second-best with a time of 2:03.881 on his ITALJET Gresini Kalex.
Daniel Holgado did a third-fastest 2:03.943 on his CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team Kalex.
Izan Guevara crossed the finish line fourth on his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha boscoscuro with a lap time of 2:03.971 and Tony Arbolino got fifth on his REDS Fantic Racing Kalex with a time of 2:04.448.
American Joe Roberts finished Friday afternoon’s practice session 12th with a best time of 2:04.685 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
Gonzalez collects Friday P1 as big hitters miss Q2 cut in Sepang. A crash in FP1 was backed up by an impressive Practice top spot display from the Moto2 title race leader in Malaysia, with title rival Guevara fourth fastest.
After a fast crash in Free Practice 1, World Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) bounced back in style in the all-important Moto2 Practice session to top the timesheets on Friday at the PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia. Gonzalez’s 2:03.737 was good enough to see off the Alonso Lopez (ITALJET Gresini Moto2) threat by 0.144s, with Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team) completing the top three.
Holgado was another rider to crash this morning, but like Gonzalez, didn’t show any ill effects from the tip-off in the afternoon stint. Fourth place went to Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), who was the only other rider to get below 0.7s away from his title rival’s table-topping time. The exact gap between the title-chasing duo? 0.234s.
2022 Moto2 Malaysian GP winner Tony Arbolino (REDS Fantic Racing) rounded out the top five ahead of the rider third in the overall standings, Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – MSI). And it was double delight in the MSI box because Ortola’s teammate Angel Piqueras finished P7 to front the rookie charge in Moto2 Practice.
Some of the big headlines came further down the order, though. Two of our 2025 Moto2 Malaysian GP podium finishers, David Alonso (CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team) and Barry Baltus (REDS Fantic Racing), ended the session in P18 and P19 to face Q1, and they’ll be joined in Q1 by British GP winner Filip Salač (OnlyFans American Racing Team) after the Czech star missed out on the top 14 because his second fastest lap was slower than Adrian Huertas’ (Italtrans Racing Team) – the duo both setting 2:04.735.

David Almansa led Moto3 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Almansa used his Pirelli-shod Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP KTM to lap the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) track in 2:11.427 to lead the field of 25 riders.
Rico Salmela was second-best with a time of 2:11.496 on his Red Bull KTM Tech 3 machine.
Veda Pratama, piloting his Honda Team Asia machine, claimed the third and final spot on the front with a lap time of 2:11.519.
Home hero Hakim Danish was fourth on his AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI KTM with a lap time of 2:11.573 and Adrian Fernandez finished the practice session fifth on his Leopard Racing Honda with a time of 2:11.589.
Almansa soars to Sepang P1 on Friday, home star Danish fourth. It was business as usual on Friday for the rider currently P2 in the standings whilst the home crowd will be cheering on Danish’s strong start.
After a tricky start to the day, David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) paved his way to P1 to draw first blood in Moto3 in Malaysia. Aiming to consolidate P2 overall in the standings, the #22 set the fastest time of the day to head the field whilst the homecoming tour is well underway for Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) with the Malaysian fourth at the chequered flag.
A 2’11.427 saw the Spaniard clear by less than a tenth of a second from rookie star Rico Salmela (Red Bull KTM Tech3), taking to Sepang for the first time. 0.069s split the top two whilst less than a tenth covered the top three with Phillip Island polesitter Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia) continuing his form in third and taking top Honda honours. Danish was a star in fourth ahead of Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) whilst, like Almansa, Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) turned around a tricky FP1 to round out the top six in Practice.
Heavyweight names are scattered further back with the likes of Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in P7, teammate Brian Uriarte in P9 and David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) in P10. 2026 World Champion Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was only 11th whereas big names missed the cut all together. US GP winner Guido Pini (Leopard Racing) will face the Q1 music in 15th, along with Argentinean pairing Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).

The #25 won’t be taking part in the rest of the Malaysian GP as he continues to suffer with his fingers, broken in Lombok.
Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP team) put in a superhuman ride at the Indonesian GP to take a podium despite having fractured fingers, but the #25 was then forced to withdraw from the Australian GP as his recovery continues.
Arriving in Sepang for the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, Fernandez got the ok to take part in FP1 and headed out in the session. However, in a review thereafter he was declared officially unfit and is now sidelined from the event, instead focusing on making a full recovery.
Marc Marquez (93) at Sepang. Photo courtesy MotoGP.
Marc Marquez topped MotoGP World Championship Free Practice One (FP1) Friday morning at Petronas Sepang International Circuit, in Malaysia. Riding his Michelin-shod Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26, the Spaniard turned a lap of 1:58.912 around the 3.44-mile (5.54 km) track and led the 22-rider field.
Marco Bezzecchi was second-best with a 1:59.386 on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26.
Pedro Acosta was third with a lap of 1:59.386 on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.
Enea Bastianini finished the first session fourth on his Red Bull KTM Tech3 RC16 with a time of 1:59.688.
Acosta’s teammate, Brad Binder got fifth with a time of 1:59.737.
Marc Marquez leads Bezzecchi and Acosta in FP1, injured Martin completes 12 laps. The championship leader heads into Practice 0.4s clear of the Aprilia and KTM stars, while the #89 finishes 1.8s off the pace in a promising start to the Malaysian GP.
Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) enjoyed a perfect start to his PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia after the World Championship leader set the only 1:58 lap of the session to lead Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) by 0.474s. The duo set the exact same time to finish FP1 just under half a second away from the #93’s 1:58.912, but that wasn’t the biggest story of the opening session in Sepang.
The main focus? Jorge Martin’s (Aprilia Racing) progress. Team Manager Paolo Bonora explained the 2024 World Champion, “expected to feel worse”, with the plan being not to push too much and save energy for Practice later this afternoon. It’s early doors, of course, but that’s great news going into this afternoon for the rider just 10 points off Marc Marquez in the title chase. At the end of play in FP1, Martin completed 12 laps and sits 1.8s off the summit heading into this afternoon’s one-hour Practice stint, six days after suffering a non-displaced fracture of the distal radius. Incredible.
Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) handed KTM a great start to their weekend in Malaysia by sticking their RC16s inside the top five in P4 and P5, while it was Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and last year’s Malaysian GP winner, Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), who were the only other riders to get within a second of Marc Marquez’s FP1 pace.
Elsewhere, Raul Fernandez’s (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) weekend is over after the Spaniard was declared unfit after a review during FP1. Fernandez will now head back to Spain for some thorough treatment in order to try to be fit for the upcoming Qatar GP.

David Alonso was the best of the rest with a 2:04.568 on his CFMOTO RCB Aspar Team Kalex and his teammate Daniel Holgado got third with exactly the same lap time of 2:04.568.
American Joe Roberts finished the opening session in fourth with a 2:04.758 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.

The biennial FIM Intercontinental Games (ICG) returns this season for its second edition, with the 2026 Goiás FIM Intercontinental Games scheduled for 11–13 December at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiânia, Brazil.
The prestigious event will bring together teams from the six FIM Continental Unions (CONUs) – Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania – to compete across circuit racing and motocross. Each CONU will field twelve riders, split evenly between Supersport (SSP), Supersport 300 (SSP300) and MX2. The two circuit racing classes featured at the inaugural ICG at Jerez, Spain, in 2024, while MX2 joins the programme for 2026, extending the competition to off-road racing.
Each CONU may select one ‘specialist’ rider with a permanent place in an FIM World Championshipin 2026. Teams must also include at least one female rider per category, who may likewise be a permanent FIM World Championship rider this season. All other selected riders must be considered ‘rising talents’ and must not have competed in an FIM World Championship as permanent riders during 2026.
Yamaha will provide machinery for both circuit racing classes, with a fleet of YZF-R7 and YZF-R3 models available. Motocross competitors will race on locally supplied motorcycles, according to each rider’s requested brand and model and in compliance with FIM regulations.
In the run-up to the event, we will take a closer look at each CONU’s selection. This week, FIM North America takes the spotlight.
FIM North America’s efforts in Brazil will be overseen by Circuit Racing Team Manager Michael Martin who returns to his 2024 role alongside Steve Westfall who is the Motocross Team Manager.

Canadian Dylan Rempel is Captain of the MX2 squad and the nineteen-year-old from Ontario will be aiming to lead by example having already forged a hard-earned reputation for his determination and commitment. With experience of running near the front in both the AMA Pro Motocross Championship SMX Next and Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship 250SX Futuresclasses, this season Rempel was crowned 250cc Pro Class champion in the national Canadian Triple Crown series.
Aged just seventeen and hailing from Colorado, Mayla Herrick had to wait until round three of the 2026 AMA Women’s Motocross Championship until she was old enough to compete and she immediately claimed a moto win before crashing out of the second race. Despite this she still finished the season ranked eighth with overall podiums at Unadilla and Ironman Raceway and she was the youngest member of the Team USA squad that won the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in early 2026.
The third member of the MX2 team, twenty-four-year-old Preston Kilroy won the 250 Pro class of the national 2025 Triple Crown Series before graduating to the 450 Pro division this season where he finished fourth and claimed the overall win at the final round. The rider from Wyoming made his professional Motocross debut in 2020 and his professional Supercross debut two years later and has competed in both the 250 and 450 classes of the AMA Pro Motocross Nationals as well as the 2023 SuperMotocross World Championship.
Hailing from Manitoba in Canada, twenty-one-year-old Ryder McNabb is a two-time 250 Pro Canadian Motocross Champion who was tenth in this season’s 450 Pro class in the Triple Crown Series after finishing seventh in the 250 Pro class in 2025. Making his professional debut in the 250cc class in 2024, he has achieved three top-twenty finishes in the 250cc class of the AMA Pro Motocross Nationals and also has a top-twenty finish in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship 250SX Futures class on his racing résumé.
Rob Dingman, President of FIM North America, said: “The FIM Intercontinental Games brings the spirit of competition on two wheels under the international spotlight, and we are eager to showcase the collective talent of the riders from our continent. As we celebrate the second running of this event later this year, we anticipate a strong showing from our twelve riders in Brazil.”
Mike Pelletier, FIM North America Delegate, stated: “We have built a competitive team with a collection of skilled Circuit and Motocross riders that we feel very confident in for this year’s FIM Intercontinental Games. Team managers Michael Martin and Steve Westfall bring plenty of experience to their respective roles. I look forward to watching our team compete at this prestigious event, with a chance to bring international glory to North America.”
Michael Martin, FIM North America’s Circuit Racing Manager, commented: “I’m very honoured [to be Manager]. It’s a pleasure for me to do it and I certainly enjoy it. It’s been very rewarding so far and, hopefully, we’re going to go down there now that we have our feet underneath us and get a good result.”
Steve Westfall, FIM North America’s Motocross Manager, added: “To be asked to be a Team Manager for such a cool event is an honour. The fact that they considered me means a lot! The team is going to be great. Mike [Pelletier] and I went with what we thought would be the best team to win the FIM Intercontinental Games. Good luck to all the other CONUs competing in this event.”

screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
